Cuz, Elvis is the King! Grandpa knows best! :] ~Jack, VEG

Don - I have had a chance to see it in action playing with the amp since this video was posted and it works great! My A/B switch has a center ground position and a few times I forgot about it and parked there and TX'd, the hi SWR light came on and the amp did not TX. I have also had it come on for hi temp as I had been running it with out a fan on it....I now have one on it...it too shut down the amp until safe. ~Jack, VEG

Howdy - 6 meter is active, I have worked local phone both FM/SSB and I have started to play with FT-8 and made a lot of contacts...I also sometimes put a 6 meter rig in the YLs car and talk to her as she buzzes about on simplex. Depending on your area, it may or may not be active, check these cool sites for activity and use the filters to select your band and mode. pskreporter.info/pskmap.html & www.dxwatch.com ~Jack, VEG

Howdy Wes! Hope all is good on your end! I owned one of these back in the day, always liked it, so when the opportunity came up, I bought it....been doing that lately. ~Jack, VEG

It does look like it indeed! I no longer own this device, if it didn't have to few issue I didn't like, ida kept it! However, I still would recommend if you need a wide band freq counter and the budget wouldn't allow for others. ~Jack, VEG

You are very welcomed, glad it helped someone! :) You gonna love what it produces for an older small chip camera, it is one of my favorite cameras! ~Jack, VEG

@@VintageElectronicsGeek I dove deep into these older digital cameras over the past few months and it's been a lot of fun. I started with the Sony DSC-F707 because that was my first digital camera that I always regretted selling when I went into Nikon APS-C DSLRs. When I saw how inexpensive these old cameras are I started picking up some models I'd wanted but never gotten: Sony DSC-F828 & R1 and Nikon 8700 & D200. Then I found some other interesting models to snag: Nikon 990 & 995, Canon Powershot Pro 1, and finally this Sony D770. Many of them have really surprised me with their image quality, especially the Sony F828. It has become one of my favorites to shoot now and it's easy to get into infrared photography with it due to a hack of the Night Shot feature. If you like 5MP and under cameras, check out a Sony F707 if you haven't. It's still a very capable camera and has the fun infrared/night vision capability.

Foe shoo! ~Jack, VEG

Also the othe one fc 2000: techcommft.blob.core.windows.net/fluidtopics/integrations/docs/406050.pdf

Thanks for the tip, I'll pay attention to old grease and check voltages around the solenoid. ~Jack, VEG

I concur, a bit sticky. A bit doxit in that solenoid may just do it.

Will do thanks! ~Jack, VEG

Thanks, likewise! ~Jack, VEG

Life changed, priorities changed! Not sure how often I'll drop a video. Yes, need to learn how to change pads successfully, the service manual did ID that as an issue with track changing. Thanks. ~Jack, VEG

@@VintageElectronicsGeek I understand completely Jack. Post when you can. :)

I do have that and use it, just totally forgot to on this project, used ISA and Goo B'Gone....thank for the tip/reminder. ~Jack, VEG

No, it developed another issue that may have been above my abilities and I kinda lost interest....I believe one of the smd IC's went bad, I ordered one but just never got back to it...again, it may be above my abilities. Jack, VEG

It was like that before 9/11. Now, they want the world to open their mind. I'm like awake now, but i'm also 21 years older. A lot has changed indeed, but don't feel stupid or guilty being someone else compared to that time. Just another new "altar" to compartmentalize, lol 😂

All a lie? Sadam used chemical weapons multiple times against Iran and the kurds in his own country. Basically trying to commit genocide. They also found a bunch of chemical aviation bombs, shells and warheads. He would block UN inspectors after desert storm. I’m sure they would of found weapons of mass destruction if allowed in. When operation Iraqi freedom happened saddam sold his chemical and biological weapons to Syria. The weapons used in Syria where matches very close to ones found in Iraq big rumors where they got them from. Also Sadam raped women and children and killed families I’d they didn’t obey. He tortured families and kids. Now I know they didn’t find Nuclear weapons but there where many reasons to try and help iraq.

​@Snickerszn the US was aware that they used bioweapons for a long time. The justification for the war was all of the place because they were desperate to find one. Which one was it, the nonexistent wmd or freeing Iraq which left it in ruins.

​@@Snickersznfinally someone stating facts, thank you
